Ndamukong Suh and Carlos Dunlap are the only ones from last years Draft to have more then 5 sacks, to be fair to Jerry Hughes he never started a single game if you wanna call him a bust then you can say the same about Jermaine Cunningham who only had 1 sack and 27 tackles in 11 starts... most of the vets on the bord always say you Don't know how good a player really is untill he's 3rd year in the NFL and we all seen that to be true with BJGE who went from a no body to a 1000 yerd 13 TD running back in hes 3rd season
He certainly not a bust YET. He is a disapointment right now. This isn't the way to start his second season. The talk out of Indy is that he may lack the motivation neccessary to be a player.
The point of my original post was to counter all the negative posts after the draft last year who complained that the Pats got a special teamer/nickelback when they could have had a stud WR (Dez Bryant) or a premier pass rusher (Jerry Hughes). I have already said that Hughes could turn it around.
For all we know, McCourty may be an one year wonder and Hughes will go to the HOF. I never meant to put a definitive bust label on Hughes because it is too soon. But right now all those people who killed Belichick for taking McCourty over Hughes (or Dez Bryant) look a little foolish. Ultimately, they could be right, but it certainly doesn't look that way today.
